Focussing on texture and form, we capture the nature of Chuncho cacao.

 

5 in the picture to provide an idea of the features of this type of cacao.   

Sold in singles.

 

Each piece is unique, created using traditional burn-out casting techniques to transform these legendary cacao beans - the origin of the species -  into bronze to become immortalised forever. 

 

We wanted to give our Chuncho a new life away from it's original environment, allowing you to appreciate and preserve this beautiful cacao.  It's the origin of the entire theobroma cacao species and the largest genetic subgroup of all cacaos, so there is great diversity of flavour.  Typically, Chunco cacao has a low 100 count, being a tiny yet concentrated cacao bean.

 

Made in partnership with just-over-the-Dorset-border metalworker Rosie Wesley, these works are certified as high quality, locally produced crafts by The New Forest Marque. Rosie  donates a percentage of all profits from her business to Love The Forest, a registered charity run by New Forest Trust* which helps to fund conservation and education projects in the New Forest.

 

Distinctive as earrings, a keyring, necklace, bagtag, charm or treasured keepsake.  Each bean ships with keyring and if you would like, a free necklace cord (faux leather) in your choice of colour - just let us know Brown or Black during checkout in the message box, or via email shortly after your order.
